Kisah Sufi
The Three Fish
Some fishermen came to a lake. The wisest fish was ready. “I won’t ask other fish for advice,” she thought. “They’ll only hold me back.” She escaped to the sea. A less wise fish watched her go but didn’t follow. “I should have gone with her,” she thought, “but I can still die to this life.” She floated in the water as if dead, and the fishermen ignored her. Thus she escaped. A third fish had no wisdom at all. As she splashed and thrashed, the fishermen caught her, and into their fryingpan she went. The foolish fish didn’t escape.
